stages

Indicate which scripts Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager should run on target instances. Pre scripts run before Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager initiates snapshot creation. Post scripts run after Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager initiates snapshot creation.

  • To run a pre script only, specify PRE. In this case, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager calls the SSM document with the pre-script parameter before initiating snapshot creation.

  • To run a post script only, specify POST. In this case, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager calls the SSM document with the post-script parameter after initiating snapshot creation.

  • To run both pre and post scripts, specify both PRE and POST. In this case, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager calls the SSM document with the pre-script parameter before initiating snapshot creation, and then it calls the SSM document again with the post-script parameter after initiating snapshot creation.

If you are automating VSS Backups, omit this parameter.

Default: PRE and POST
